In the study by Garcés et al, (20) only 3.7% of the patients examined had assistance to brush their teeth, and the average of brushing was 2.18 per day among the women – similarly to the present study – and 1.97 times per day for men.…”

“…Garcés et al (20) demonstrated the need to establish a closer relationship with these patients to facilitate their care. We agree with the authors that not only caretakers but also the institutions should conduct oral hygiene programs to decrease the cavity and periodontal disease indices, considering these students spend many hours in the organizations, with no access to proper hygiene.…”

Objective To identify the prevalence of the main oral problems present in special needs children and to relate the underlying conditions with the clinical and demographic variables.Methods The study was based on the physical examination of 47 students from the Associação de Pais e Amigos dos Excepcionais diagnosed as Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and intellectual deficit. For data collection, we used a self-administered questionnaire that included indices of dental caries and oral hygiene, Angle classification, malposition of dental groups and oral hygiene habits.Results The predominant age group was 12-25 years (46.8%) and most patients were male (55.3%). Regarding daily brushing, 63.8% reported brushing their teeth three times a day, and 85.1% did it by themselves. A total of 48.9% were rated as Angle class I, and 25.5% had no type of malocclusion. A high dental carries index (decayed, missing, filled >10) was observed in 44.7%, and 53.2% had inadequate oral hygiene (zero to 1.16). There was a statistically significant difference between cerebral palsy and the act of the participants brushing their teeth by themselves.Conclusion There was a high decayed-missing-filled teeth index and malocclusion class I, as well as inadequate oral hygiene. The type of underlying condition of the participants influenced the act of brushing teeth by themselves.

“…Es necesario que se sigan realizando investigaciones en esta área, evaluando las distintas poblaciones, desde aquellas donde se están implementando políticas públicas de salud bucal 26 hasta otras que han estado histórica-mente desatendidas 27 . Esto permitirá crear una visión general de cuánto afecta la salud bucal a su calidad de vida y planear futuros programas nacionales de salud oral para los niños y adolescentes.…”

Zika virus infection was declared a public health emergency at national and international levels due to the high incidence of the virus infection and its relationship with the birth of children with microcephaly. Patients with microcephaly present significant clinical neuropsychomotor disorders, therefore, dental surgeons should be prepared to treat such patients, observing the possible alterations associated with this condition, as well as the oral diseases. Thus, the purpose of this research study was to inform dental surgeons about the microcephaly associated with the Zika virus, as well as instructing them about the dental care necessary for such condition and its management during the consultations.
